About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Kittanning in the 1890s, when the area was shaped by its river commerce, railroads, bridge crossing, and surrounding farmland. The view sweeps across the full town, from the tree-covered hills in the background to the orderly rows of streets and houses stretching down to the water's edge.

The map captures the Allegheny River curving past the town, the bridge spanning its waters, boats along the shore, and the wooded ridges of Armstrong County rising beyond the settlement, along with many of the historic streets and homes that shaped life around Kittanning in the 1890s.

For anyone whose family roots run through Kittanning or the Allegheny River valley, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the church steeples, the riverboats drifting downstream, and the neat grid of streets tucked against the hills - and the memories that keep families connected to Kittanning.
